Episode 289: Oh, Link's Goodness

[mario]

Almost done with the glowy green episodes, I promise.

[Amoeba Boy]

First!

So was she messin' about how he should give up now, or that he could never hope to defeat the Miscreant?

[mario]

All around. Except for Ruto's name.

[deku12345]

I really like this one. Especially link's "Goodness!"

[daveshan]

What is she doing in the last panel?

[BlueLink]

I like the green glow...

[Agentcel]

I'm eagar to see Link's new attack and/or item! I hope it's cookies!

[Takeru]

It's obviously going to be an Ocarina! We all know that the Miscreant hates music. Oh wait, that's Digdogger.

[Agentcel]

And remember:

And "Digdogger hates certain type of sound".

EDIT: I didn't see/read Takeru's post.

EDIT2: I'll put all 0 of my Mario Points on a Fire Rod. Yes, I read that thread. Before I registered.

On-topic: Can you post a zoom out of that sprite in the second panel? I can't really figure out what it's supposed to look like all close-up and diagonal and whatnot.

Off-topic: Speaking of the linked topic (above), I totally drew the hourly comic for February 12th, 2006 two weeks ago with full intent of posting it, and then I accidentally threw it away. It's too bad, I had a pretty interesting day that day.

[Takeru]

That's Link's upward stab sprite.

[hlavco]

Oh, I totally see it now. Thankee.

[Amoeba Boy]

Speaking of, is that sprite a Panighetti original? I don't remember anything like that from the game but I don't know.

And that old thread reminds me, we need to have a dress like Hlavco day. I forgot last year and I don't think I can wait till October.

[Hamelin]

How could you not remember the upthrust? it was useful in many situations!

[mario]

If you look at Link's sprite sheet (which probably needs some updating, I've made one or two sprites since I released this sheet, I think), the bottom row is my original creations.

Since Link hasn't yet learned the Up Thrust technique (which was a totally awesome technique), I only use it for dramatic poses in close-up.

[Amoeba Boy]

I must have never learned it. I had the downthrust but never an upward version.

[hlavco]

Man, I really have to play Zelda II. Every time I hear about it, it sounds more awesome. Goodness! "Oh my goodness" is a weird saying, when you think about it. What's it mean?

I dunno man, do you think you can pull off the generic horizontal striped t-shirt look?

[Behemoth]

It's a way of saying "oh my God" without being blasphemous.

Wow, you look just like my freind and is that a N64 I see??
